Wily Numbers

Ummm... I don't want to be that guy but Bass and Zero's serial numbers aren't listed correctly here if that was what the artist intended. You see Robot Masters in the Megaman series are all given a specific designation in the form of a 3 letter code followed by a 3 digit number. The Letters serve to help identify who the Scientist responsible for creating the Robot Master in question and the numbers help indicate the sequential order in which every Robot Master is created within a give line of androids.

DR. Light built the very first Robot Masters and designated them with the moniker of the "Dr. Light Number Series." Protoman was the very first Robot Master ever made so he was given the designation of DLN 000 due to him being a prototype.

The Original Robot Masters from Megaman 1 are

DLN 001 (Megaman/Rock)

DLN 002 Roll

DLN 003 Cut Man

DLN 004 Guts Man

DLN 005 Ice Man

DLN 006 Bomb Man

DLN 007 Fire Man

DLN 008 Elec Man

This format applies to pretty much all Robot Masters and their creators. Bass and Zero are part of numbers series as well. Bass is part of the Special Wily Number series and is labeled SWN 001 (and is the only member of this line that I personally know of). Zero's code is DWN ∞ ( presumably because Zero was Wily's magnum opus/ masterpiece and most power creation).
